News Which is the best hotel at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando? Loews Portofino Bay Vs Hard Rock Vs Royal Pacific? The Portofino Bay is the most expensive, the Royal Pacific comes in cheapest but cheapest is not always the best option as the rooms are small and if you have kids, there is no slide in the pool. Our Travel Auctions Sort Bypopularlatestending Below I have outlined the pros and cons of each hotel, but I have also focused in on the club floor and lounge sections of these hotels. When you have taken into account of food costs and drink costs across the resort, it usually works out better value to book a club room (even though the upfront price is more) than booking a standard room at these resorts.

Valuable things you need to know before visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I never used to be a fan of Harry Potter. It wasn’t for any good reason; I just wasn’t into it. When the books and the movies were first released, I was almost at the end of high school. I suppose I thought that it was meant for little kids or I was a little too cool for all of it. My younger sister was obsessed with everything relating to Harry Potter, and I didn’t want any part of it. As some of you might know, Justin is younger than me.
